The only homegrown label to show at Singapore Men’s Fashion Week kicked off the event’s International Day – a seemingly strange choice, yet the city’s multicultural make-up meant it made perfect sense.

Reckless Ericka’s very first solo menswear show since the brand launched in 2009 was inspired by the haunting yet charming photography of Michael Garlington; designer Afton Chen and co-founder Louis Koh sent out a strong, essentially androgynous, collection of paired looks.

Chen created summer drama with generous use of gingham and plenty of volume and colour: splashes of brights with pastels and camel tones. The upbeat soundtrack, Janelle Monáe’s We Are Young, reminded the audience of the power of youth.
